Shameless cake boast - I'm so pleased with my beehive cake :)

Just finished DS1's birthday cake and it was a logistical nightmare (white chocolate not setting properly, bees on wires waving all over the place)

He's interested in bees at the moment and has chosen a trip to a bee farm for a birthday outing, so I decided to try a beehive cake! Am so pleased with it (and relieved it's all finally stable, I ended up using the hard sugar flowers I made last week to brace the bee wires into place!)

It has to be kept hidden until Thursday, and I'm excited, so I thought I'd share it with you lot! It's striped yellow and dark chocolate cake inside, with honey buttercream Smile

I think you should send a picture to Extra Slice, it would make a change from hedgehog cakes with disturbing teeth!

I tried to make gingerbread men last weekend and they tasted and looked like dusty sand splodges lol.
